Tire size: p235/70 r16 since April, 2024 this tire started inflated every week. After 2-3 weeks trial I decided to take it to the tire shop, after they tested it, no error was detected. Then they told me that technically this tire is defected. It costed me $75-90. 00 bucks just for the diagnostics. At that point, I did not have a choice but to buy a new tire. The new tire cost me another $140. 00+, before down time and a waste of energy. Time is everything in this country. Thank you,.
Tire size: p235/70r16 104t in the first week of April, 2024, the rear passenger side tire was showing low air. I took it to a tire shop close by. They checked it and could not find any defection, except air. They inflated and balanced it. I started driving it hoping everything would be ok. After 3 days the same thing happened. Again, I took it to a different tire shop, and they took their time and thoroughly checked, no nails or air leak at all. At that point and after I told them the history of the tire, they suggested that it is a manufacturer's defect or it is a defected tire. More over, the tire guy advised me to contact the NHTSA or the manufacturer. On top the purchasing price, I spent $60. 00 for inspection, the purchasing price was $112. 50, from walmart. In conclusion, I purchased a new tire and replaced it, and costed me to mount it. I did not have a choice, and I kept the bad tire. I had to go through all these, because of the defected tire, or the manufacturer's fault. I cant't live without or I do everything with my car, and I have only 1 car. Car is a big part of my/our daily life in America. You guys can take it from here. That is all. Thank you.

2008 Ford Escape XLT 4wd, excessive tire noise on continental contitrac tires, size 235/70/r16. Rotated at proper mileage throughout the lifetime of the car, now has 35000k on it. This should be a tire recall do to the amount of people that seem to have this same issue.
Own a Ford Escape 2008 with 43,000 miles and original continental tires. At my last oil change I requested a tire rotation an found out that one tire was defective (failure of one steel band) and was causing significant noise and vibration at 60 mph and above. Tire thread gage indicated 10/32". It seems the tire has failed to perform when significant life was still available.
Tire stem failure on continental contitrac p235/70r16 104t caused tire to loose pressure and made a roadside assistance call necessary and side trip to repair tire. Second tire to have this failure this month.
2008 Ford Escape XLT v6 33,000 miles continental conitrac tires wearing very uneven causing excessive road noise. Company will not stand behind their product even though there is still tread left on tire and they have been rotated 4 times. Have contacted twice, and they have offered no assistance.
June 2008 I purchased a used 2008 Ford Escape. The tires are the same continental tires that were on there when I bought it. The insides of all 4 tires are wearing faster than the rest of the tread. Sounds like I have "mud" tires/aggressive tread. When the noise first started Nov. 2008 I thought it sounded like a wheel bearing, but those checked out fine. It wasn't until July 2009 that I figured out it was the tires making noise. I am guessing it is a problem with the tires as no mechanical problem can be found.
Special ordered a 2008 Ford Escape limited. Kept hearing slight noise sounded like wheel bearings to me. Rotated tires at 7500 miles as per my owners manual . Took to dealership at 10,839 miles. They said they had not rotated my tires so no service. Noise so loud now cannot hear radio. Cupping on inside of all tires. Took back to dealership. They said I cannot rotate my own tires and keep my warranty. So my warranty claim is denied.
